Accessible Links
Links connect your content to other pages and resources and are an essential part of creating accessible links. However, if your link text is not clear they can add barriers for users.
Use these tips to write more accessible link text.
Writing More Accessible Link Text

Full URLs are more difficult to read and decipher. Instead, provide a helpful text description to tell users where the link is taking them.
